CARNABY KILLER AND HPD SUPERVISOR RECEIVE MULTIPLE SUSTAINED
DISCIPLINARY FINDINGS BY THE HOUSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE
BACK SHOOTING OF UNARMED ROLAND CARNABY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In a rare departure from the closing of ranks in police shootings the Houston
police officer who shot unarmed Roland Carnaby, 52 with no criminal record,
in the back received three sustained disciplinary actions by HPD’s own
internal affairs investigation while his supervisor has received two sustained
disciplinary findings.
In sworn deposition testimony Carnaby’s killer blames the City of Houston
for poor training in High Risk Vehicle Approaches. The on-scene supervisor
also criticized HPD poor training in High Risk Vehicle Approaches.
The discipline adds to the record of the HPD supervisor who was previously
disciplined, including a suspension from duty, for the violent striking of a
prisoner, failure to abide by laws, insubordination and speeding.
Roland’s wife Susan has sued under the federal civil rights laws to change the
HPD policy and training in High Risk Vehicle Approaches to accepted
national standards.
Attached are the disciplinary letters.
